The Hercules name is a dub thing. In Japanese, his name is shown as ヘラクレス, as seen in 27:31. It's read as Herakuresu, which, given the ambiguity of the pronunciation, it could either translate as Heracles or Hercules, but I'm leaning more toward Heracles.

I'm pretty sure the reason Posiedon never used his water powers was because of how arrogant the shows depiction of him is. Poseidon's fundamental ideology was that the gods were perfect and needn't change, he saw humans as lesser and thus never believed he could be defeated by one. Even to the end, he didnt want to really go all out because his pride was more important to him, and needing to use his full power against a lesser would certainly stain his pride. It can be seen even after Sasaki kills him, when he calls Sasaki a loser despite being dead.

A detail I liked was that this show shows its own version of how the serpent lost its legs. Instead of it being God, it was Adam. I don't know if this was intentional or not or if I'm just stretching the facts to make a theory, but Adam and Poseidon look very similar. Since RoR is trying to say that Poseidon is more fearsome than Zeus, and he is still older than him, I feel like he was the god that Adam was modeled after.

[@SemiramisAudron]

To be fair, Adam was not naked, he was clad with a fig leave, which implies he had shame and covered up - also Hermes only said it's been several millenias since he played that tune --- doesn't necessarily mean its a tune that can only be played on a violin

I not sure of that. Poseidon is the "villain" of the Odyssey, while in the Aeneid the antagonistic goddess is Juno (or Hera). Neptune was also not worshiped that much but was a sponsor for the roman calvary and naval forces, but that is it.

He wasn't a honorable warrior, not even close to it and after the battle of hu lao gate he got an endless streak of losing to everybody until cao cao kill him like in the series.

Couple comments just to point things out. Loki never actually calls Zeus “Grandpa”, that’s just an English translation error since he was using an honorific for elder which kind of got lost in translation. Next while Poseidon in the myths we know him in is a lot more chill, his epithet “Earthshaker” and a lot of the traces found about him from his depiction in Mycenaean Greece show him as a much colder and a much more terrifying deity that’s even believed to have been the head of the pantheon rather than Zeus which explains his depiction here at least somewhat.

This doesn't relate to the myths, but... Jonah Scott, who voices Adam here, plays him with an INCREDIBLE Clancy Brown impression, to the point I actually thought it was Brown voicing him.
